The past is vivid, Xiao Hesheng recalled it, and there was remorse and hatred in his heart.

Regret is that he shouldn't have let his sister go, if he could have been tougher when she was pregnant and tied her back to Hong Kong, she wouldn't have died. What he hated was Fu Zhengjun's lack of affection, he promised a woman, but he abandoned her, and in the end he didn't even have an explanation, he stayed in Beicheng safely, hugged his beautiful wife, and guarded his children.

Xiao Hesheng had a cloud of pent-up qi in his chest that had been accumulated for thirty years, and it was impossible to have a good face when he saw the Fu family.

It is said that the father's debt is repaid by the son, and in the face of Fu Jichen, of course he was angry, after all, reason prevailed, and he did not lose his temper in front of others.

Fu Jichen confirmed the guess in his heart, there was nothing to say, and his deep eyes stared at Xiao Hesheng's distant back.

Similarly, this was the first time he had sat down and spoken face-to-face with Xiao Hesheng. The man was wearing a custom suit with dark gray stripes, and his temperament was gentle, even in front of him, the enemy's son, at most his tone was a little cold, there was no insult, and there was no conflict in behavior, which showed that he was kind in his bones.

If he had grown up in front of Xiao Hesheng since he was a child, I don't know what he would be like now.

Xiao Hesheng endured for many years, just to get justice for his dead sister, thinking that he should be a good uncle.

The mobile phone buzzed and vibrated and pulled back Fu Jichen's distant thoughts, he pinched his eyebrows, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and looked at the call from Lu Yanzhi.

After connecting, I heard Lu Yanzhi complaining over there: "Lawrence's oil and salt don't enter, and it won't help if I say it, what benefits did the person behind him promise him!" ”

Fu Jichen changed his hand to hold his mobile phone, took out his wallet, took out the banknotes and put them on the table to settle the bill, got up and left the restaurant: "I'll talk about it when I go back." ”

The road was being repaired nearby, and the driver sent by the branch drove a long way back to the hotel where he was staying, and it was already dark.

When Fu Jichen went to the hotel suite to find Lu Yanzhi, he had just arrived, his suit jacket was taken off and thrown into the sofa, his tie was torn off, and he was loosely tied around his neck, holding the belt around his waist with one hand and a can of cold beer in the other, the whole image of an angry lion.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lu Yanzhi turned around, his face softened slightly: "You finally came back, I didn't keep the people, I really tried my best, I, Lao Cao, and Song Tezhu, the three of them couldn't persuade Lawrence." ”

He also knew that this matter had not been done, and there was a sadness between his eyebrows.

Lao Cao is the person in charge of the branch, and he has a better understanding of the situation, and he analyzed a bunch of pros and cons with Lawrence, but he is determined to quit.

Fu Jichen lit a cigarette, paced to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the gray cityscape, and said softly: "I expected it." ”

"How's your talk over there? What is the number of that person, Junshan's opponent? ”

Lu Yanzhi took out another can of beer from the refrigerator and handed it to Fu Jichen.

Fu Jichen stretched out his hand to take it, but he didn't open it, he put it on the rectangular wooden table next to him, the cigarette between his fingers was half-lit, he picked up the ashtray on the table and knocked the cigarette ash, without saying too much detail: "Something was confirmed." ”

Lu Yanzhi took a sip of wine, didn't understand his words, raised his eyes to look at him, I don't know if it was his illusion, the back of the person in front of him seemed to be a little lonely.

If you don't go to negotiations, how can you be depressed? Isn't it working out as well as it could be?

Fu Jichen squinted and spit out a puff of smoke rings, put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, leaned against the edge of the wooden table, and said to Lu Yanzhi: "Don't worry about Lawrence, let him quit if he wants to, people who can use interests to pry will sell the company because of interests in the future, and they will never be safe." While the project has not yet reached a critical period, it is just right to kick it out. ”

Lu Yanzhi choked on a sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Then what about this project?" ”

"I have contacted others to invest in the technology, and it is still in the evaluation stage, and the analyst is making a report, and the results will be released tomorrow afternoon at the latest, and then we will meet to announce it."

After Fu Jichen finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, ready to call Shen Jianian, looked at the time, and calculated that it was one o'clock in the morning in China, so he had to rest.

Lu Yanzhi looked at him and looked at his mobile phone in a daze, thought about it for a while, and understood his intentions.

"Want to call Miss Shen?" Lu Yanzhi plays with the taste.

Hearing that Fu Jichen had a new countermeasure, Lu Yanzhi's mood relaxed a lot, anyway, he didn't want to serve Lawrence anymore.

Fu Jichen didn't hide it, put the phone on the table, put one hand in his pocket, and said in a gentle tone: "I miss her a lot." She should be asleep by now. ”

Even though Lu Yanzhi knew that his friend had true feelings for Shen Jiannian, he was still taken aback when he heard Fu Jichen say the words "miss her" so calmly.

It is like seeing an iron tree blossom and the sun rising in the west.

Shen Jianian received a call from Fu Jichen at eight o'clock in the evening of the next day, and two o'clock in the afternoon Swiss time.

"Are you home?" Fu Jichen's voice was a little hoarse, and as soon as he said a word, he couldn't help coughing lightly.

Shen Jiannian listened to his voice, his eyes couldn't bear the heat, and he was glad that the people over there couldn't see it. She hummed and asked, "What's wrong with your voice?" ”

Fu Jichen said truthfully: "After a morning meeting, I may have talked too much. As he spoke, he let out a low dry cough.

"Have you eaten?" Shen Jianian asked.

"Song Fang ordered a meal, and I'll eat it later." The tense string in Fu Jichen's body, after hearing her words of concern, slowly relaxed, and his voice couldn't help but lighten, "What about you, have you had dinner?" ”

"Just had a little bit of fruit and the chef is still cooking."

Shen Jianian sat in the living room of Yunding Palace Villa, the TV was on, the volume was turned down, and a plate of cut fruit was placed on the coffee table in front of him.

Fu Jichen thought of her stomach discomfort before boarding, and what Lu Yanzhi said, and asked her warmly: "After returning from the airport that day, is your stomach still uncomfortable?" ”

"No, I'm fine." Shen Jianian tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, "When will you come back?" ”

A smile bloomed on Fu Jichen's lips: "It's not sure yet." ”

Shen Jianian said: "Then you book your tickets and don't forget to send me a message." ”

"You're coming over to pick you up?" The smile on Fu Jichen's face deepened and deepened, and it came out through his tone, inexplicably tender.

Shen Jianian clenched one hand on her lap and took a slow breath, not wanting to deceive him and bring him expectations, she said secretly: "No, I just ...... Just ask. ”

Cheng Jin came over to ask Shen Jianian to eat, Fu Jichen on the phone heard it and said the final words: "Go to dinner, I'm ready to eat too." ”

A second before the phone hung up, Shen Jianian hurriedly said: "You ask Song Tezhu to prepare some honey water for you, Sydney water is also fine, it's good for your throat." ”

She knew he was busy over there and might not have time to take care of it, but she still wanted him to take care of himself.

Fu Jichen smiled: "Got it." ”

At the end of the call, Shen Jiannian took down the mobile phone and held it in her hand, staring at a certain place in the air for a moment, until Cheng Jin brought all the dishes to the table and came over to call her again, she came back to her senses and got up to go to the restaurant to eat.

Four days later, Shen Jiannian received a text message from Fu Jichen, he was on a flight at 6:15 p.m., would stop in Paris for two hours and 40 minutes, and arrive at the Capital International Airport at about 4:30 p.m. the next day.

Shen Jiannian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, only to feel that the sword hanging above his head finally fell.

She replied to the text message pretending to be nothing, saying that she was waiting for him at home. This was the last lie she told to Fu Jichen.

At six o'clock, after learning that Fu Jichen had successfully boarded the plane, Shen Jianian made an appointment for a courier service online and sent a letter to her teacher Yan Qiusheng.

There were some things she couldn't say in front of Yan Qiusheng, so she wrote them all in the letter.

The chef made dinner, Cheng Jin came over to call her, everything was as usual, Shen Jianian sat at the dining table and ate quietly, and returned to the upstairs room.

After the cook left, Cheng Jin cleaned up the house for a while, turned off the lights everywhere, and went back to his bedroom early.

The whole villa was silent, only the clock was ticking around, Shen Jianian was carrying a duffel bag the size of a backpack, did not take the elevator, and walked down from the third floor in the dark, with very light steps.

Unexpectedly, he woke up the two dogs sleeping in the living room, wagging his tail and pulling Shen Jianian's trouser legs.

They were too familiar with Shen Jianian to bark.

Shen Jianian bent down and touched the hair on the backs of the two dogs, gently opened the door of the villa, and walked out.

There was a security booth outside the fence gate, and when he saw Shen Jianian coming with something, the doorman poked his head out of the window and said hello: "Miss Shen, are you going out now?" Why didn't you call a taxi? ”

On weekdays, Shen Jianian takes the family's car in and out of the villa, and has never taken a taxi by himself, so the doorman is a little surprised.

Shen Jianian curled her lips and smiled lightly, and replied naturally: "If you want to meet a friend, she lives nearby, and it is very convenient to walk there, so you don't need to call the driver over." ”

The doorman didn't suspect it, Shen Jianian pushed open the fence gate, walked along the road all the way, didn't look back, stopped a taxi on the side of the road, and asked the driver to take her to the airport.

Sitting in the car, she took off her disguised indifference, her head rested against the window glass, her eyes closed lightly, and the neon light swept over her face, illuminating the tears in the corners of her eyes. (End of chapter)
